    Whilst I think some of the things schools do border on the ridiculous. On this occasion I totally agree with the stance. Also, a thousand quid for a coat that they'll grow out of within a year to me is bonkers. Wouldn't spend that amount even if I was filthy rich.

    Agree with the principle, but the spolling mistokes in that letter are embarasing.

    I completely support a school uniform policy that extends to designer coats. Why would any parent want to spend this kind of money on a coat in the first place? Morally I would not ever consider buying a Canada Goose coat, I find their practises abhorrent.

    They're all copies, the Canada Goose one is one of the most copied at the minute. They'll have paid around £50/70 to pick one up so not much difference in price to what they would spend

    I don’t disagree with that. I don’t personally think it’s the school’s job to police that though.

    Looked at getting one, absolute joke, spent not even a third of that on a great North Face one which feels far better constructed and no animals were harmed in its production.

    Never understood why you'd want a coat designed for -30C for a country with mild winters.

    And rightly so. They'll want to do that in employment when they get older.;)

    Good. I personally always enjoyed being screamed at by a parent because their child had taken their unlabelled coat off in the playground, left it outside and then it went missing. Quite how that was my fault I have no idea but plenty of parents liked to shout in front of all the other parents that I would now have to pay £200 for a new one. I can only imagine their reaction if it had cost 3 or 4 times that.

    I'd like a real one but my husband won't buy me one because of the amount of copies around at the minute. They are good though so it is hard to tell difference. I've got a copied Moncler hat and scarf

    Here’s a truth, he won’t buy you one because they are £700 and it’s plain bonkers buying one :)

    I would be far more on board if it was “you have to wear a coat with the school logo on” or whatever.

    This is “you can wear anything except these very specific brands” - more about policing what parents are allowed to buy for their kids than making everyone conform.

    It doesn’t really bother me, but I thought it might spark interesting debate.
